I inspire students with my own love of film and media...and I inspire them to pursue their passions in the arts as a viable career.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I love participating in events and competitions outside of the classroom, we get so much joy and excitement when we win local competitions. I have THE BEST STUDENTS !!! ...and I am so fortunate for that...

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off debt and send my children to college… Purchase equipment, set design and furniture for my School TV Studio so we can do a daily streaming news show. I will throw all my students the best pizza karaoke party ever !!!
